Stunning climb, gives no respite, for those who want to test themselves, to be done afterwards with a fair amount of training.

Salita strepitosa , non da tregua, per chi vuole mettersi alla prova , da fare dopo con un discreto allenamento.

As a cycling experience and sporting achievement, this is the max. The wide route was built to get as many winter sports tourists as possible to their ski destination by car and even acted as a location for a car chase in the James Bond film "Spectre" (2015).
The end point is therefore a summer empty asphalt parking lot, the size of several soccer fields, located at a
café/restaurant complex in the middle of a glacial landscape dotted with cable cars and ski lifts.
The climb starts just after leaving Sölden, turn right and immediately after that, very steep, the first 4 hairpin bends follow until the pay station (even flat / bicycle free), a long relatively straight stretch takes you to the last 4.
Afterwards at about 2630 m there is a split to end point Rettenbachferner (see climbfinder) or you can turn left downhill to the entrance of the Rosi Mittermeier Tunnel (open since 1982 named after German ski champion).
This straight tunnel is 1.8 km. long bumpy asphalt two-lane road, reasonably lit (extra bike lights wouldn't hurt!!!) and bridges 146 altitude meters. This ensures that when cycling into Europe's highest road tunnel, you will see the daylight from the end in a small circle above you in the distance.
Tunnel exit is the highest point of the climb and with its 2829 m also highest paved road in the Alps.
Last hundreds of meters are downhill towards parking lots which was welcome after a long climb that continuously flirts with the 10% and more.

Very tough climbing challenge with spectacular final section and two altitude records where you hardly find any traffic in summer.
Warm clothes can come in handy even in summer!!!

Als fietservaring en sportieve prestatie is dit de max. De brede route werd aangelegd om zoveel mogelijk wintersporttoeristen met de wagen op hun skibestemming te krijgen en fungeerde zelfs in de James Bond film "Spectre" (2015) als locatie voor een autoachtervolging.
Het eindpunt is dan ook een zomers lege geasfalteerde parking, zo groot als enkele voetbalvelden, gelegen aan een
café/ restaurantcomplex te midden een gletsjerlandschap bezaait met kabelbanen en skiliften
De klim start vlak na het buitenfietsen van Sölden rechtsaf waarna direct zeer steil de eerste 4 haarspeldbochten volgen tot het betaalstation (even vlak/fiets gratis) , een lang relatief recht stuk brengt je naar de 4 laatste .
Nadien op ongeveer 2630 m hoogte is er een splitsing naar eindpunt Rettenbachferner (zie climbfinder) of je kan links even bergaf naar de ingangspijp van de Rosi Mittermeier Tunnel (open sinds 1982 genoemd naar Duitse skikampioene).
Deze rechte tunnel is 1,8 km. lange hobbelig geasfalteerde tweebaansweg, redelijk verlicht (extra fietsverlichting kan geen kwaad!!!) en overbrugt 146 hoogtemeters. Dit zorgt ervoor dat je bij het binnenfietsen van Europa's hoogst gelegen wegentunnel in de verte het daglicht van het einde in een kleine cirkel boven jou ziet.
Tunneluitgang is het hoogste punt van de klim en met zijn 2829 m ook nog eens hoogst geasfalteerd weg in de Alpen.
Laatste honderden meters zijn bergaf richting parkings wat welkom was na een lange klim die continu flirt met de 10% en meer.

Zeer zware klimuitdaging met spectaculair slotdeel en twee hoogterecords waar je zomers amper verkeer aantreft.
Warme kleding kan zelfs in de zomer van pas komen!!!
